Spider-Man 2: Enter: Electro
Description official description
Spider-Man is out to save New York City (and in the process the world) once again. This time it is Electro that is out to take Earth, and the galaxy itself, for his own. As you fight your way towards the final battle with Electro, you will come across a range of enemies, objectives and bosses. Climb buildings, save hostages, disarm bombs, all while avoiding hidden traps and enemies.
Spider-Man has a range of new techniques and power-ups for use, including Electric webs, ice webs, tasers, and electricity armor, plus all of the original moves from the first Playstation Spider-Man adventure. Punch and kick are your main attack abilities, but coupled with your web you can swing into and out of fights, tie up the enemy and surprise them from above. You can of course crawl along walls and roofs to get to hard to reach places, and find the hidden comic books (which opens up pictures in the gallery).

The Good
The graphics and gameplay are much improved over the original: particularly being able to swing all the way from roof tops to road which would have been my biggest criticism of the first game.
I liked the storyline and the humour was great. The new moves are great too (the old moves are still there too - ground breaking stuff for a super hero game!)
The Bad
On the easiest setting, the game just romps by and is over a bit too quick.
The Bottom Line
Choose the hardest setting in order to make the game last a bit longer. Electro makes for a pretty good (dastardly) bad guy - I can't wait for a movie based on this game!

Pretty good,but the first one is better.
The Good
Well there are a lot of things.For starters the graphics are a bit better.Also,there are more extras(Such as costumes art etc.)Also the levels are pretty fun too.
The Bad
Well for starters,it feels shorter than the first one,and it seems easier.And Spidey and Stan Lee's voice are the only returning characters(Unless you count the Lizard,who was left in the character viewer,mentioned and cameoed on a billboard.)Plus there are some annoying levels(Such as a level where you need to save a plane by opening doors and throwing barrels out of the way)
The Bottom Line
In short,spider-man 2 is a pretty good game but if your in a game shop,only allowed to buy 1 game and you see 1 & 2,get 1 instead.

The Good
Spider-Man (2000) was an amazing game on all levels; graphics, animation, storyline, game play, replay value, difficulty level, extra secrets, etc. It was the Spider-Man video game that fans had waited decades for and everyone expected a sequel. Spider-Man 2 (2001) follows the same basic format of the previous game with with slightly improved graphics, extra super hero moves, new levels and extra comic book inspired secrets. It is also based on an actual, albeit not especially well known, Spider-Man storyline.
The Bad
Spider-Man 2 feels shorter and less developed then the first game, with lesser known super villains, fewer cameos from super heroes and a rather repetitive and mundane "What If?" scenario. The real life terrorist attack on September 11th, 2001 compelled Activision to do a last minute revision of the game, which causes some confusing plot points.
The Bottom Line
Spider-Man 2: Enter Electro (2001) is not a bad game, by any means, and will, generally, please comic book fans who are all too often offered inferior games. However, it is no where near as creative or impressive as the first game. The minor improvements and new storyline feel less like a proper sequel and more like an appendix to the first game.
